Whoops...

Wow... where did this past month go?! I have been a seriously lazy blogger! It's been so ridiculously nice lately and I've been so crazy busy that I just haven't had time.

I have been working like a crazy person! I have a full time job at a non-profit arts organization during the week, but I also work part time as a server at a local sushi bar. The extra money from serving goes towards fun stuff like vacations, concerts, and of course, clothes! That way I don't really have to touch my paychecks for anything other than bills, rent, etc.

And with all the nice weather the last thing I've been spending way less time in front of the tv and computer. I live within walking distance of tons of restaurants, shops, and bars (and the two most important places- a snow cone stand and an ice cream shop!). Needless to say, I've consumed my fair share of snow cones this summer. Best combo thus far- cotton candy, blue raspberry, and watermelon. YUM. Now I'm craving a snow cone...

Cooling Off

Man, it was HOT this weekend! While I really enjoy summertime and everything that comes with it (minus mosquitos, of course) the weather last weekend was brutal!

The only other beef I have with summer is that I don't do very well in extreme heat and humidity. As my mom says, I'm a "fragile flower". This is gross, but I sweat at the drop of a hat. I don't even try to look cute at festivals or other day-long outdoor events anymore. It's a total lost cause.

Also, I barely tan and burn to a crisp without my SPF 50 (yes... I use 50... don't judge.) My year round freckles do become PRETTY amazing in the summer though. I used to hate them, but now I've accepted my specks and love them.

On Sunday though, we finally got some relief in the form of a huge thunderstorm. I'm not a fan of storms, but I was so thankful for this one! This entire week has been beautiful as a result. Mid-seventies all week... glorious!

How cool is this pocket watch necklace? I saw it and couldn't resist. Also just to warn you, I was pretty much a walking Target advertisement this day... whoops! I didn't even realize it until after the photos were taken. Slightly embarrassing, but who cares- I really love these pieces together!

More Bad News

Ugh... this whole camera thing is getting really annoying... Here is the update on the camera status: My fantastic, awesome boyfriend made the trek to retrieve my camera for me so I didn't have to (yay!), I started taking lots of photos again and was so so so excited to have new outfits to post... But then tradegy struck (again). Last night I spent over an hour turning my apartment upside down searching for the cord to upload pictures. I can't find it anywhere! I don't know where else to look either. I will do another sweep of my apartment tonight but I'm thinking I will probably have to break down and purchase a new one. UGH! So unfortunately, my pretty pictures will have to wait.

There is something I am really excited to share with you though! I have seen news about this floating around the internet for a few days now, but today For You, For Me shared a link for a free download! Is anyone else as excited for the new Jenny and Johnny album as I am?! I just listened to their single, Scissor Runner, and it is the best happy summer song!

Currently Coveting- ModCloth Edition

Why did I not know about Polyvore until yesterday? This site is seriously amazing! This set is titled "If I had an endless supply of money... or a shopping spree at ModCloth.com"

I will confess, I have never purchased anything from ModCloth. *gasp!* I frequent their site often and lust after TONS AND TONS of cute things, but have never purchased. I have been close on a few occasions, but then the little voice in my head reminds me that I really shouldn't be spending that kind of money right now and I quickly close the browser and my temptation. Whew! Lots of close calls!

I am deperately swooning over sandal wedges right now though and have my eye on a pair from ModCloth. They are currently sold out, but the second they restock (fingers crossed that they do!) you can bet those babies will be mine!

Until then, here's my summer ModCloth wishlist:
